Extend Guest and IoT wifi to Easymesh nodes

Pretty much as the picture describes. I have a BE3600 (archer BE230) in my office, where the fiber box is located, and I am using an AX72 Pro in my living room to create a mesh network in the whole house with a CAT6 creating the backhaul connetion between the two.
The main wifi mesh network is working flawlessly, as i am getting high speeds in all the house with quite seamless AP roaming, and both nodes are updated to the latest firmware.
The problem is that the guest network is not being "replicated" from the AX72 Pro in the living room, where i actually need it the most (I have NAS and other sensible equipment to which I would not like to give guests access, if possible).
I know for sure that it is not impossible to have a system like this to work, as I have just upgraded from a mercusys AX3000 mesh system that supported whole house mesh with both main and guest networks, while costing half of the combineation of BE3600 and AX72Pro

@tarekitsme agreed.
if tp-link is not going to take this fundamental functionality seriously, the conversation on this thread onwards should be talking about which other brands we should all look at that provides guest and IoT wifi via their mesh modes.
if tp-link realises that they are seriously bleeding customers over this issue, maybe they will look into it properly... maybe.
so, anyone has any recommendates what other mesh brands/models we should look at?

It's great that you're finally extending the guest and IoT networks for one router. I need this for my BE800. Not having this is losing you a sale as I want to buy a range extender (RE653BE) because my IoT devices on the other side of my house are having connection issues. Please release updated FW for the BE800, or quit selling deceptive "range extenders".

Based on my experience, I found what I was looking for with ASUS AiMesh.
I’m running ASUS in two different locations:
AX86U Pro + RP-AX58
AX53U + RP-AX58
In both setups the mesh broadcasts the main Wi-Fi and guest/IoT SSIDs on all nodes without issues. Segmentation stays consistent across the mesh and nothing gets disabled when you add nodes.
That was the main thing I needed and ASUS handles it correctly.
For TP-Link, I only use a single device now (a switch), not their mesh systems.
